These may be redefined to customize log rotation path prefixes,
including use of a directory. File extensions are still up to
individual log writers to add themselves during the actual rotation.
These new also allow for some simplication to the default
ASCII postprocessor function: it eliminates the need for it doing an
extra/awkward rename() operation that only changes the timestamp format.
This also teaches the supervisor framework to use these new options
to rotate ascii logs into a log-queue/ directory with a specific
file name format (intended for an external archiver process to
monitor separately).
This helps prevent a node from being killed/crashing in the middle
of writing a log, restarting, and eventually clobbering that log
file that never underwent the rotation/archival process.
The old `archive-log` and `post-terminate` scripts as used by
ZeekControl previously implemented this behavior, but the new logic is
entirely in the ASCII writer. It uses ".shadow" log files stored
alongside the real log to help detect such scenarios and rotate them
correctly upon the next startup of the Zeek process.
* origin/topic/timw/776-using-statements:
Remove 'using namespace std' from SerialTypes.h
Remove other using statements from headers
GH-776: Remove using statements added by PR 770
Includes small fixes in files that changed since the merge request was
made.
Also includes a few small indentation fixes.
This unfortunately cuases a ton of flow-down changes because a lot of other
code was depending on that definition existing. This has a fairly large chance
to break builds of external plugins, considering how many internal ones it broke.
* origin/topic/dev/non-ascii-logging:
Removed Policy Script for UTF-8 Logs
Commented out UTF-8 Script in Test All Policy
Minor Style Tweak
Use getNumBytesForUTF8 method to determine number of bytes
Added Jon's test cases as unit tests
Prioritizes escaping predefined Escape Sequences over Unescaping UTF-8 Sequences
Added additional check to confirm anything unescaping is a multibyte UTF-8 sequence, addressing the test case Jon brought up
Added optional script and redef bool to enable utf-8 in ASCII logs
Initial Commit, removed std::isprint check to escape
Made minor code format and logic adjustments during merge.
For backward compatibility when reading values, we first check
the ZEEK-prefixed value, and if not set, then check the corresponding
BRO-prefixed value.
This feature can be enabled globally for all logs by setting
LogAscii::gzip_level to a value greater than 0.
This feature can be enabled on a per-log basis by setting gzip-level in
$confic to a value greater than 0.
Turns out that in error situations, the final finish message might not
reach the writer anymore, as communication between the threads will be
shut down. Instead of aborting, we now just clean up in that case and
proceed. This isn't changing any other behaviour. The original error
check was in place mostly for helping debug the data flow between the
threads anyways.
Addresses BIT-1331.
